We awoke to an unseasonably warm morning in San Francisco, and made our way from our hotel to Haight St. and my daughter pointed out this venue saying that it looks "cute." Upon looking at the menu I was "in" for the SF vibe of the food offerings. Below is what we ate and our rating of the food: Me - smoked salmon on toast w/ baby pickles, capers, and spread. Oh-em-gee-times-ten....I was either REALLY hungry or the dish was THAT good! (it was that good!). The serving was generous and satisfying and was accompanied with salad greens tossed in a vinaigrette dressing. I am salivating as I write this. Son - breakfast burrito. He liked it. It was simple: scrambled eggs, bacon in a spinach tortilla. His young age did not help his appreciation of a green tortilla, so.....he only ate half Daughter - granola, fruit, yogurt parfait. She demolished it and enjoyed every bite. And, even carried her leftovers with her (all day, might I add) and ate them for breakfast in the hotel the next morning. To supplement their meals I ordered a side of toast and roasted potatoes. We ate with gusto! My cappuccino (which I only seem to order when I'm in San Francisco) was delicious and gave me enough energy to walk those hills with ease. This place is a hidden gem with a very sweet staff that took good care of us. More pictures to come. read more

I hate to leave a one star for a café we have been going to successfully for many years. But our most recent experience really unnerved us and makes us hesitate to go back. We went down to eighth Street to go to the café a few days ago, on a wonderfully warm day, and as we entered, the hostess said "go ahead and sit anywhere." As we went to the back patio as we have done for over six years now, she rudely interrupted and said "not the patio." We were not sure what she was saying as she had turned away and talked away from us, but we asked if the patio was open. She laughed at us and said "no the patio is not open. You can't sit there. " We said OK well, we'll have to go some other time cause we don't eat indoors. She started laughing at us and said well OK and kept laughing as we exited. As I said, we have been going there for over six years and we always enter the indoors masked and the staff who's worked there for a long time know us as well. This rudeness was really uncalled for and I don't know if I'll go back. It looks like they now take reservations for the patio so I don't understand what's up. read more

Charming ambiance and happy to check out the menu. With the exception of one table and not knowing if there was anyone outside, it was just us. A couple of parties walked in to get coffee, then left. The food was great for lunch, however, the wait was too long for a place on Haight during lunch time. Either service was slow or the kitchen. Hard to tell. If you ready other reviews, someone had feedback about their French onion soup. Low rating from that person. I wouldn't say it's a miss, but I would recommend going here when you're not in a hurry. read more

My second visit here and I was not disappointed. This time it was more crowded than the last time we were here, but the service was still great and the food very enjoyable. I, once again, had the eggs benedict (it's difficult for me to choose something else when benedicts are offered!). Everything was still really good. I have yet to sit in their back patio.

It was such a great time I forgot to take photos of my meal! A bright and beautiful space with lots of vegetarian brunch choices! I went with the brioche French toast and the avocado scramble. great pricing and service. I will say, one thing I loved was that each serving was perfect for one person - no more, no less! Sometimes brunch places pack your plate so much and it caused a lot of waste. Lots of nice drink options too the oat latte was great! Will be back! read more

Patio is cute. Had the brisket breakfast burrito which had brisket, eggs, fries with a small side of salad. It was okay. I expected it to be better and have more substance. It felt like it would elevate better with salsa and avocado. It's a bit overprice for what it is. The place itself is nice and I see the appeal to get other breakfast dishes and coffee. It's a good spot to catch up with friends. read more

I was in the neighborhood for work and stopped in for a late breakfast. The food online looked amazing. Unfortunately, the hostess/server completely ignored me even though she walked by me at the front several times. I saw it was busy so I continued to wait for several minutes. Finally, I approached her behind the counter. She was so rude I just thanked her and left. Maybe the food is amazing, but the service wasn't great ... read more

Good sized portion of Niçoise salad, the potatos were really good! Kind of confused because the salad was drenched and swimming in mayo I think? I was not aware that would by the case. It was good but I needed less mayo or sauce in it. Def get potatos and omelette which is what my friend got. read more

A group of coworkers and I stopped by for some early dinner. We were able to sit in the back patio for our meal. It was nice and open and it was quite busy for 4:50pm. We didn't think there would be a lot of people because it's quite early for dinner. But, the back patio was pretty packed during that time. The fries we ordered for the table came first, but even then it too about 25 minutes for our food to come. That isn't terrible timing but it is when half the group was a bit hangry. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich ($13) with the side salad. You can choose between a side salad or potato chips. Since we had some fries for the table to start, I opted for the salad. The fries we had were crispy, thin and came with a chipotle mayo like sauce. The order was really made for maybe 2 people, so if you love fries, definitely order more than 1. The side salad was quite delicious. The dressing they use for their baby green side salad was so fresh and went really well with the sandwich. The lemon thyme chicken was seasoned well and the fresh veggies and avocado paired nicely. The French roll was soft, though I kind of wished they toasted the bread so that were was some crisp/different texture in the sandwich. What's great about it this place is the whole menu is served all day, 8am to 8pm. The server was very attentive, the space was open and airy and the food was great and affordable. I'd definitely recommend this place for medium size groups especially since it was an affordable price for all! read more

Been here a couple of times, great little spot for brunch food, sandwiches and salads. Their patio out the back is charming and relaxing. Definitely a nice break in the sunshine. Brunch is served here all day. If you dig breakfast burritos, this is the spot to be at. I ordered their grilled chicken sandwich which came with avocado served on crusty bread. You can get a side of either mixed greens or chips. I found the chicken to be a bit on the drier side than I would have liked, but the amount was plentiful. The service was friendly, water carafe and two glasses were brought out. Would come back to try brunch items next time! read more

Delicious brunch spot in the middle of the haight. The perfect spot to stop by at while window shopping, or even if you're just looking for something good to eat. The strawberry mimosa was perfect, and wasn't too badly priced! Brioche French Toast was good, but the price was a bit much for the portion they give you. Smoked Salmon Tartine was delicious, and honestly all tartines sound worth it and appealing as they are decently priced and is very filling. Avocado scramble was simple and perfect! Stop by if you're in the area for sure, as the staff are the kind and the ambiance is pretty. They even have an outdoor area where you can bring pets. Very pretty and lively with music playing and heaters for if it gets cold. read more

Good value! Super reasonable prices and loved the quaint outdoor seating area. I ordered the brisket sandwich (seemed to be one of the less popular items, but thought I'd contribute a data point to Yelp :)). Healthy serving of brisket and definitely hit the spot of a more heavy brunch. Brisket was perfectly seasoned & tender, and the baguette was crunchy (though, some bites felt like more bread than meat). The aioli sauce also helped change up the flavor profile of some bites of the sandwich, and I liked dipping the fries in there as well. I definitely wish there were some more greens in the sandwich, since it was a bit lackluster Would be interested to try the brisket burger next time, which seems like the more popular item read more

The food here is delicious! I got the grilled chicken sandwich and it was flavorful and the bread was so soft. While the food was very good, the service was subpar and kind of strange? When we walked in, my friend and I were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside. We said inside. I was expecting them to take us to a table but instead we were awkwardly handed the menus, left to choose our own seat. No problem about this but it felt weird! After we ordered, our waiter came back to us 5 min afterwards to double check our order, only for them to get it wrong. Also, the food took an insane amount of time to come out despite there being few people there. Waiters were literally standing around, not busy. If you're in a hurry, this is not the place for you. I think if you're there to meet and catch up with a friend, you can use the long wait for your food as a chance to chat it up! But if you're hungry and want a quick and smooth experience, this is not the place. read more

I got the French onion soup and gees, that was inferior to any French onion soup I've ever had. I was surprised when it came out 2 minutes after I ordered it but soon saw why - they didn't bake the cheese in top. Instead it was very oily soup with a ton of shredded cheese in top. The toast on the side was good. I ate all of that. But I'm a lady who can eat and I didn't even finish half the soup because it really put me off. I tried to spoon out the cheese and just enjoy the soup but it was oily and didn't taste good. Cute place, nice French music playing, but don't order the French onion soup. read more

Doing this review based on a Grub Hub delivery I received today from Brioche Bakery & Cafe. I ordered the Grilled Chicken Salad and I was BLOWN AWAY - WOW! I haven't ordered a restaurant salad this great-tasting in YEARS! I wasn't sure what to expect I just wanted to eat a bit healthier than my eating over the past weekend, and felt like a salad might be a good idea. This salad was not only beautiful, the dressing just was SO TASTY! It kind of tastes like Roti sauce, or a subtly sweet yellow Thai curry. You NEED to try this salad! I only wish it was bigger because it was just so yummy. read more

Great price for a great variety of brunch and lunch foods! Came at noon on a Saturday and got seated right away. There's seating inside and in the back patio. We ordered the quiche and the brioche French toast to share. The quiche with ham was so delicious, the puff pastry crust made it crunchy and flakey and the egg was cooked so well!! It was very filling so I'm glad my friend and I ordered to share. The brioche french toast was not as fluffy as I expected it to be, a lot denser than what I anticipated and kind of small as well. I ordered the spinach and Gruyère omelette for myself and it was packed with spinach and Gruyère which made it super good value. The potatoes that came with it were denser than other brunch place potatoes I had, but still good when dipped with ketchup. I like that the dish comes with fruit making it a well balanced meal. read more

We tried their beet salad - was perhaps the most delicious dish we tasted. Coffee was served in good quantity, could have been hotter. There's plenty of seating inside, well lit, was easy to hear each other as well. Everything was served swiftly, felt like an efficient operation.

Did we do something wrong? My partner and I came here for brunch on Saturday, September 7th. We walked in and were handed orders but were not told where to sit. I asked, "Do we go to the patio?" because the group in front of us had been told to do so. The woman rudely just said "yeah." We sat at a table in the back of the patio next to where it's closed off. We were given waters and then just... ignored. For almost 30 minutes we sat there ready to order and the waiter ignored us. Finally, we managed to flag someone down to order. After we got our food, nobody checked on us to see if it was good or if we needed anything else. We actually needed another plate because we were sharing. Obviously, we didn't get one. We got the steak frites. The steak was tough. We won't be back. read more

If you're gonna offer brunch in SF, you have to do it right! Unfortunately, Brioche was a miss for me. Please hire more people...or seat fewer! While this is a deceptively huge spot, Brioche was WAY understaffed at its busiest time. This led to our order not being put in with the kitchen, and us waiting over an hour for our food. The Eggs Benedict Florentine was pretty good, and the prices are reasonable, but the disorganized service left much to be desired. read more

Came here while staying with my cousin and off the bat the vibes were really cute! The space is not too big so we had to wait a while for people to leave before we were seated. Our server was nice however he kept forgetting to bring things to the table like water and at one point my entire meal :( I really enjoyed the California Omelette and French onion soup! I also ordered a strawberry lemonade but it was very thick for some reason I'm assuming it was due to the syrup they used. Overall it was a nice place however the service was not that great.

Zazie used to be one of my favorite restaurants. I even celebrated my birthday here earlier this…read moreyear, so it's really tough to write this review, but I had a pretty bad experience last night. I called a couple of hours beforehand and made a same day reservation for three at 8 p.m. I was amazed they could get us in. The guy who answered the phone was so nice. We arrived right at 8 and were seated on the back patio. Our server took a little while to greet us, but by about 8:15 she showed up and we immediately ordered our salad and entrees. The heirloom tomato salad came out around 8:30 and was great in concept, though a few more pieces of cheese would have made a big difference. Our entrees, two salmon dishes and a medium-rare steak, came out around 9 p.m. We had waited a little too long, especially since the restaurant was not very full at that point. My steak was overdone, so as politely as possible, I sent it back. The server said it wouldn't take long, so I assumed 15 minutes at most. By 9:20, the steak still had not arrived and my family had finished eating. The server came by and said it would be out in another couple of minutes. Another 10 minutes passed, and there was still no steak and no sign of the server. At 9:30, I was so frustrated that I got up to cancel it. I found the server standing near the kitchen talking with other servers, while my steak was just sitting there in the service window. I'm sorry, but I did not come to a restaurant at 8 p.m. to eat my entree at 9:30 or later, after everyone else had already finished. What made it worse was that the server was not apologetic at all. We also ran out of water multiple times throughout the evening. Overall, it felt like the staff, other than the host, just didn't care. Neither the kitchen nor the server. I don't know if it's the no-tip model, but it definitely felt like an authentic European zero-customer-service type of experience. I'm really disappointed, Zazie. I know you can do better.

Between the four of us, we ordered the bread/butter, ceviche, Dungeness crab garlic noodles, and the Wagyu dog to share. We also got a bottle of their Lambrusco. The stars of the show were definitely the wine and the garlic noodles. I wouldn't recommend sharing the Wagyu dog as it got a bit messy. Everything was definitely overpriced, and portions were small.

Having been a member of a non-drinking community since 1962, I was fascinated to see such display and dropped in to check it out We spent some 15 minutes with Josh, an ex-bar tender, explaining his philosophy on the social need for community life withoug depending on alcohol (See his Youtube channel: "Josh the non-Alcoholic" for more on this). Josh gave my wife a free cup of coffee since TJ Cafe down the road had no had free refills, and we entered a draw to win a bottle of non-Alcoholic French wine. Josh surprised us by telling us that the French wine industry is going big on non-alcoholic wines. I bought a can of Vanua Bliss - a Mango flavoured Kava drink - vastly different from the Kava served to me during my 3 years stay on Tanna, New Hebrides (1977 to 1980) which was made by youth chewing the kava in their mouths, spitting it out on to a coconut sheath, then pouring water into it and squeezing it into a half shell of a coconut and cerimoniously handing it to you under the shade of a huge Nambunga tree as the twilight deepened! Such are memories made of. While Kava is not alcoholic, it does have some muscle relaxant properties and give a weird buzz of the tongue. I wish him well in his endeavour to allow the teetotaler community to enjoy the social aspects of drinks with their meals, without worring about the alcohol destroying our brain cell and livers!

ALL THE DISHES WERE DELICIOUS, especially the crab cakes. The main I ordered was the salmon and my husband got the steak. Both were cooked to perfection! The salmon was moist and not dry at all, the steak was a perfect medium as asked. We loved Laurie and Fable, will definitely come back! My dad and I are landscape designers which made my appreciation for the real plants and the ambiance of the restaurant amazing.

Cute neighborhood spot for a glass of wine and a sandwich !!…read more Came on a Sunday afternoon with two dogs- all the outdoor seats were taken but I asked if they could set up an extra table for us and they were very accommodating! (Dogs allowed outside only) Food was tastyyyyy - highly recommend their shrimp hoagie!! Also tried their garlic cheese dip, burrata & white beans. All tasty. Great spot for a casual cute lunch or din!

In Philly, where I'm from, a ladle of pork jus tops these sandwiches, creating a moist mouthful that ties the flavors together texturally. The Palm sandwich has no pork jus and instead has a spicy mayo, and some sort of chewy, smoky bits sprinkled on top. I'm really disappointed with this version. It's basically a very dry pork sandwich with a measly slice of provolone and broccoli rabe on one side and sauce on the other side. Unless your mouth is able to get around a 3.5" sandwich, the flavors don't mix. If you're going to make a sandwich that already exists and put your "take" on it, it should be at least as good, if not better. I hate paying good money on crap food. Boo.

My husband and I are 'creatures of habit.' When we like a place - we generally stick with it. There…read moreis something so comforting about walking into a regular spot - and knowing what you're going to order well before you even sit down. And even better when the staff know as well. I ADORE routine, especially food routines. Brings me sooooooo much joy. Early to Rise has become a go-to spot for my husband, when friends or family are visiting, or even when friends in the area are looking for a solid breakfast morning hang. Everyone he has taken here - has raved about their carefully curated and well executed breakfast menu. From their fresh fruit bowls, to the savory brunch plates - it's all what's up. You only have to take a look at some of their food photos to identify the evident care and well sourced ingredients in each of their dishes. Just take a look at their French toast and pancakes. Bliss for the eyes. While my husband starts his 'social' breakfast with Early to Rise - I usually take advantage of the morning downtime to clean our apt with my 'Legacy' playlist crooning in my ears. It's a win-win. Do note though that Early to Rise does get busy on the weekends and if you enjoy a more private breakfast table experience - it may not be your spot. Like many popular breakfast spots - you may also find yourself making some new friends - while you wait in line to be seated. Trust.

This spot can get busy so come early! We got the potato…read morepancake, POG French toast, their daily deluxe donut, and a virgin wake up call. The flavors are so flavorful for the potato pancake! The tamarind is pretty strong so it's pretty acidic tasting. It's more sour than savory. I'd recommend getting this with a different dish than POG French toast since that one has a strong flavor too. We ended up getting the shrimp&grits to balance things out. The French toast was super soft and fluffy. The Pog glaze is super concentrated! It tastes like a dish from Hawaii :) The deluxe donut was super fluffy and not too sweets it's definitely worth trying! The virgin drink was a nice balance of coffee and horchata. Overall, a very cute spot that's quite lively. We'll come back to try other dishes!

Did someone just claim the crown for the best pancakes in San Francisco? I think they did…read more The lemon ricotta pancakes were nothing short of phenomenal. The texture was impossibly light and airy, while the flavor struck that perfect balance of bright citrus and rich creaminess. I honestly can't remember having pancakes quite like these before. The layers of marscapone--and what I believe were whipped egg whites folded between them--created an incredible combination of moisture, flavor, and delicate structure. It was one of those dishes that has you planning your return before you've even finished the last bite. As impressive as the pancakes were, they weren't the only standout. The breakfast sandwich was outstanding, packed with flavor and expertly prepared, and the shrimp and grits were rich, comforting, and beautifully executed. Top it all off with genuinely warm, attentive service, and this was a breakfast experience that exceeded every expectation. I can't wait to work my way through the rest of the pancake menu.

I know this because other reviewed on things and they made no comment or changed their disgusting habits. BUT then I said I better so others see it and maybe the board of health. I want to start by saying that I absolutely love pancakes and breakfast, so when a friend suggested Pancake Boy, I was genuinely excited to try it. Before visiting, I did what I always do--I started by reading the one-star reviews and worked my way up. Most of the negative reviews I found were about the service being rude, abrupt, or unfriendly. Since many of those reviews were older, I hoped things had improved. Unfortunately, they hadn't. From the moment I called and then walked through the door, the staff came across as rude, abrupt, and unwelcoming. Considering the prices, I expected much better customer service. What truly ruined the experience, though, was what I witnessed with the food handling and cleanliness. I watched the cook handle raw food with his bare hands and then continue preparing food without changing gloves or washing his hands. After seeing that, I immediately changed my order to something without meat or eggs because I completely lost confidence in the kitchen. It didn't stop there. Both servers wore the same pair of gloves while clearing dirty dishes, serving food to customers, and repeatedly touching her face mask. Watching those same gloves touch everything was honestly disgusting. Then came the moment that completely ended any chance of enjoying the meal. A woman a few tables away vomited onto the floor. The vomit sat there without anyone cleaning it up while customers heading to the restroom had to step over it or walk around it. It remained there long enough that it became impossible to ignore. From start to finish, the entire experience was a disaster. I've honestly eaten at roadside food stalls in developing countries that were noticeably cleaner and practiced better food safety than what I witnessed here. I genuinely don't understand how this restaurant has avoided serious health code issues, because what I observed was deeply concerning. I will never return, and based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant. The saddest part is that they don't care because they never respond to anybody's reviews.
